How To Prepare: Mix dry ingredients
thoroughly.
Cut in the Crisco with a
pastry cutter or two knives,
as you would for regular pie
crust.
(careful, cuz the protein
powder is so light it has a
tendency to 'pouf' on you!)
Add chopped pecans. Add
water & mix thoroughly.
Press into pie plate & bake
lightly @ 425 if using for
pumpkin pie, until
completely cooked if for
mousse-type pie.
